You need a special puller that costs about $150.00. Just go to the dealer. Should be about $40.00.

I believe that forum member fiberglassfan has swapped hers out for an aftermarket non-airbag wheel.

I sure did! Go to the weblink in my signature to see the pix. It is not a trivial install, and may illegal in some areas, and my be illegal to sell to another person without the airbag. I saved EVERYTHING to reinstall the stock airbag wheel if I ever have to sell it. If you decide to do it, check with me for some leads on Momo parts and a complete tutorial I wrote on doing the conversion.

I purchaed my Momo parts at Race Central here in Portland Oregon. Their official address may be in the suburb of Gladstone. I also know of a dealer in CA. I am not a Momo dealer, just a retail consumer, so I cant sell you parts.

Momo hub number 2401, plus Momo spacer, part number unknown, that goes between the hub and the steering wheel, and the Momo wheel of your choice.

AS I mentioned, this is NOT a trivial install. If you are not utterly confident with tools I would not attempt the job. It may also be illegal in certain areas, but then again, so are long tube headers. Advice.....KEEP your take off parts for re-install when you sell the car, unless it is a off-road race car or show-only car and sold as such with full disclosure of non-compliance with Federal Safety standards.

Please PM me for further info
